The Kangaroos intra-club practice match was played at Ballarat's Eureka Stadium, a venue which could one day host regular season AFL matches.

Kangaroos vice-captain Drew Petrie says the AFL would be watching to see if the game got a healthy turnout.

"The AFL would be interested to see how many come to a small unofficial game like that," he says.

"There's going to be a NAB challenge game here this year, when that game comes to town we need every Ballarat person who supports AFL to come along and watch because if the AFL see thousands and thousands of people here it will speak in volumes."

The North Melbourne players were joined by seven North Ballarat Roosters for Wednesday night's practice match.
